Vector VS131 Receiver - Canal Geomatics

Vector VS131 Receiver
Professional Heading and Positioning Receiver
Experience the addition of L-band DGNSS/HP/XP technology to our Vector VS family. Precise marine and land
applications demand the heading and positioning performance of the Vector VS131 receiver. The Vector VS131 is ideal
for professional machine control and navigation applications in areas where L-band DGNSS/HP/XP is achieved.
The Vector VS131 utilizes all of the innovations in Hemisphere GPS’ Crescent ® Vector and brings a series of features to
the Vector VS131 including heave, pitch and roll output, and more robust positioning performance.
The Vector VS131 receiver, with its display and user interface, can be conveniently installed near the operator. The two
antennas are mounted separately and with a user-determined separation to meet the desired accuracy.
The Vector VS131 uses L-band DGNSS/HP/XP, Beacon and SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS, etc.) for differential GPS
positioning.
Key Vector VS131 Receiver Advantages
• L-band DGNSS/HP/XP capable
• Professional heading < 0.03° rms
• Differential position accuracy of < 30 cm rms
• Heave < 30 cm rms
• Pitch and Roll < 1° rms
• Simple menu operations
• Accurate heading up to 3 minutes during GPS outages
• COAST technology maintains differentially-corrected
positioning for 40 minutes or more after loss of
differential signal
• Integrated gyro and tilt sensors deliver fast start-up
times and provide heading updates during temporary
loss of GPS
